generated for each individual which can be added to the actual

application under relevant scheme. Reference number is a unique

identifier which can be verified using facial recognition softwares.

BESS will be able to do the following:-

• Identify mismatch in photographs of a candidate.

• Identify multiple uses of a photograph under different names.

• Cross verify if a candidate is on a negative list or a known criminal.

• Segregation of data as required by Centre/State goverments.

• Intelligent routing and notification of mismatches.

• Customised reports as required at different operational levels.

• Information can be used as evidence.

• Audio, video and location information is linked to master database

(CCTNS for example).

• Remote tracking of user can also be carried out.

• Updating real time information is possible.

• Control Centre based on Eyewatch platform can monitor remotely track

multiple incidents.

Monitoring Tool for Government

• Daily remote visual supervision of work is possible.

• Designated authority may be detailed to send work progress photographs asroutine updates.

• Eyewatch based application can acquire video/photograph of site locationalong with GPS location on map.
